jwealleans Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Were they rail carriers? Assuming the stock in the photo kind of dates it and it isn't a preserved scene, rail carriers are what spring to mind from that era.

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted November 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2018 Don't forget the Dolphin. Interesting buffers though. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGR Model Store Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) After looking at the suggestions i would think its a Dolphin wagon ( Based on location / time of photograph )But with buffers being swapped out / sides removed. Comparing both ends, to me it looks like Dolphin.I could be wrong ..... Edited November 1, 2018 by AGR Model Store Images removed - copyright breach.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2018 Sturgeons were used to carry pre-assembled rail sections (big train set track) from the PAD depots to relaying sites, where they were offloaded by crane; I assume Dolphins were the same sort of thing. The PAD yard at Radyr had a diesel electric 204hp Drewry loco, PWM 651, and a diesel electric crane similar to the Airfix/Dapol/Kitmaster DH one but self propelled on an 8 wheel rigid chassis. These worked around the PAD yard in the week, but could be easily towed out to site for weekend relaying work as the electric transmissions were easier to disengage than hydraulic or mechanical ones. I modelled the Radyr crane many years ago using a Triang Hornby (as they were then) Flying Scotsman tender chassis picked up for small change at a show, under the Airfix construction kit frame. This is still running on a friend's layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Tooley Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Looks like a Dolphin to me too. Some of the LNER-built ones had rectangular buffer heads (LNER Wagons 4b,Tatlow, p301/2). D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
